Ghana is enthusiastic about the development-oriented outcomes that the Doha Round could achieve if negotiation builds momentum. The Doha Round has the potential to reverse the marginalization of some developing countries and least developed countries and help them to meet the Millennium Development Goals. A successful conclusion to the Doha Round and a reinvigorated multilateral trading system would deliver opportunities to all participants, including the smallest, weakest and most vulnerable economies. The development imperative remains crucial. Consequently, WTO members must take a dynamic approach to fulfilling it, bringing developing and least developed countries fully within reach of the new trading opportunities that can help them to alleviate poverty and put their economies on the path of sustainable growth and development.
